Still Fascinated?Molly Haskell's new book Frankly, My Dear: Gone with the Wind Revisited presents a fresh look at an old favorite. In the main, the author describes how Margaret Mitchell's classic Civil War novel became one of the greatest movies of all time and how Scarlett O'Hara found her place on lists of literature's favorite female characters.
Haskell's book comes complete with insider stories about the great names who brought Mitchell's book to big-screen life and adds fresh views on the film's history. Martin Scorsese (great American director), Olivia De Havilland (GWTW Actress), and Philip Lopate (film reviewer), to name a few, have all given the book positive reviews.
To read more about a few of then-people involved in the making of GWTW, check out the following biographies:
Road to Tara: The Life of Margaret Mitchell by Anne Edwards
Clark Gable by Warren G. Harris
Selznick: Memo From David O. Selznick, selected & edited by Rudy Behlmer
And of course, don't miss reading or re-reading Mitchell's book or viewing GWTW on DVD, over and over again.
